This is really the easiest way to describe it.
If the item is equipped, and (total stat - item's stat) is larger than the requirement, it's allowed to be equipped.
Sometimes you can get things that really shouldn't work. Like my NL's bottom has 120 req +18 dex, and top/claw have 130 req and 8/7 dex. Total dex is 138. So without the 3 equips, total dex is 105. Fortunately any 2 of the equips offers enough dex to equip the third. And despite the fact that none of the 3 can be equipped with 105 dex, this actually works. But reset one point of dex, and the bottom+claw would only get to 129 total dex, and the top wouldn't be able to be equipped anymore.
Of course, there's a bit of a problem being 15 dex below the requirement when you go to put your gear on. You can't simultaneously equip multiple items. I think I had a 10 dex cape and relied on MW20 (+5 dex) to cover it, then once they were equipped I could switch to a luk cape and didn't need MW anymore.
